Roland’s rules for the holidays – summertime edition

and for the late arrivals… don’t come in after the bar B Que is gone, and expect someone to do a ” Popeye’s chicken run” just for you.

post a sign, that says..No !!, the other room no one is in, is not a “weed smoking” room.. and don’t use the hand mirror in the bath room for anything but looking at yourself..

if you are a beer drinker, downing 2 every 20 minutes, don’t come with a 6 pack, bring a case of 24.

If you drink, brandy, don’t think, this is your time to become suddenly at the host expense, a cognac drinker.

it’s not a S&M gathering, so don’t come jerking and pulling and ordering your mate around.

Bring a pocket comb, in case your hat has to be removed..

if you don’t like your first cousin, we don’t need to hear about it.

who cares if she flirts with everyone, but you… if you want something, ask for it..

if you did not wash your car, don’t ask if you can park in the driveway.

if you just put a new set of 24′s on your SUV, No, you can’t park on the grass, use the street like everyone else.

Roland you know you on point with this. In addition, people’s!! Brush your teeth before going to a cookout. It’s disturbing to the eyes to converse with someone who has stuff all over their main teeth. Furthermore, learn to make eye contact with the people you’re speaking to. I see this all over Chicago. It makes me think you’re lying every time you say something. WOMEN!! Since Roland and Sharon was on the subject of hygiene, when shaving your peach fuzz (above your lip), be sure to shave the few fuzz on the side of your lips as well. Yea….I can see that…don’t use make-up or gloss to cover it up.
HAVE A GREAT 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND EVERYONE!! HAVE FUN & BE SAFE!! Roland enjoy your much needed vacation and trip to Accra, Ghana.

Touch: Love the additions!! :>) :>) :>)

Get your weave done the day before the event, so you won’t be patting your head all day.. ) )

If the designer did not have enough material to make a dress that covers that enlarged posterior, pls bring a blanket to lay on your lap when you sit..

if you know your friend is lying, excuse yourself to the restroom, to avoid being asked to endorse the lie. )

if you make a liquor run, and the cashier rings it up, understand, yes !!, they do have change for a $20… and at the price of fuel, don’t consider it a big bill.. just change it, and pay your portion.

If you are not designated the cook, for the event, please leave the grill alone.

no, your son or daughter is not the greatest person there, introduce them and let it go at that.

if everyone does not make as much money as you, now is not the time to say how much profit you made from your oil future contracts..

there’s no need for 4 people in the car to make a ice run, to the store.

if you are a woman, every time your friend goes to the bathroom, there’s only one stool, you do not have to be the attendant for them.

if you are prone to get drunk, regard the other guest, they may not want a side show during dinner.

don’t repeat the joke or the punch line, after you already got the first laugh from the crowd about it.

Yes, you can eat ribs and chicken with your hand, you don’t need a fork..

every relatives baby, don’t really want you kissing it.. smile and make eye contact and let it go at that.

it’s not ok, for you to take all the guest out to see your new car, and you do not have to sample test the radio for them… there may be neighbors trying to have a party too.

if you are smoking anything other than a cigarette.. yes, you do have to leave.

if there’s a hottie there, that wants you to “hook them up” … you don’t have to make sure everyone knows.

last one..

” don’t get drunk and propose to someone, you’d not have done so unto, if you were sober”.. and don’t preach about how much and how good your love life is, because tomorrow may bring a surprise revelation.. ) )

Touch: U R waaaay cra-Z! :>) :>) :>) I am so sharing these! Thanx for the “laffs”. :>)

” about clothes”

yes, everyone here, got their outfit on sale, and it was not a saving, the tag just had the mark up crossed out, and then added in their profit, to insure you’d be happy paying what they charge.

If you have a pet dog, we do not have a kennel, nor did it say, RSVP for your pet..

everybody is always on a diet, “within conversation”, it’s for certain that extra weight did not come from a strong exercise routine.. so pretending today, to be watching your weight, won’t help.. when you want to wrap up everything and take a bag home.. or hitting the fast food joint, on the way home, after trying to uphold a image, you don’t believe in yourself. it’s a party.. “pig out and shut up about it”..

“must we really know about every trinket you have bought in the last year ”

” if it happen 20 years ago, do we need to hear about it, at this party too”

” if you live on a street with high crime, don’t stage a “yard party”… rent a location and manage your guest list”

” if you yard, happens to not have grass in it, we’d prefer not to use the lawn chairs, and party inside instead”.

the festivities are over, and it does not require a call with every detail of the vent relived, just a casual and sincere thank you, will suffice.

the office is not the setting to discuss the most obnoxious moments at the gathering of festivities, light pleasurable humor about an enjoyable time .. may inspire the host to invite you again.

if saying and laughing that your feet hurt, is a sign you had a good time, it’s probably telling you more that you are out of shape, or your shoes were too tight..

that phone call to see if any of the ribs was left, or the potato salad, may not be as much a compliment, as it presents you as a miser..

No, you don’t have the unconfirmed right to invite your cousin to the next one, ( just because you told them how good the party was.. and they were saying how they’d like to have been there. )

We have work to do, not tell everyone how great of a party I give..my title here at work, is not “party master”.

NO !!! , all the women there did not think you were the hottest thing walking.

has your whole social life been uplifted and transformed, just because of the party… Ha’ think again… you may still not be about “nothing”.

Roland, I saw you on stage with Patti and you were having a blast. It was funny watching you men on stage having a little fun.

People need to have a bar-B que… after this madness of the mortgage mess, the rich, only let the poor get the homes because it meant more money in the pockets of the rich,… and now they cry, becase, the poor who were let in the arena .. are challenged.. when any person and every person will in life grab for the brass ring if it’s put before them..

but now the only people they want to bail out is the rich, who have profited triple already form selling the paper on this property, and if they had not got into a frenzy selling it till all the value was sold out of it, the property mess never would have happened.

that’s how the upper level of greed function, is bleed it till there’s nothing but dried bones.. and then grind that up ..l

Yep.. damn right people.. have a bar-b-que, because the system don’t care as long as it can profit off the poor and the struggling..
We have politician that dance any way the music plays, they are too unaware to put a rate freeze and a mandate that force the people to adjust the property to the current market standard.. and stabilize it..

The same as they are too stupid to issue the order to the SEC to take the private investor out of the Oil bidding business.. they can’t think simple methods, for trying to make themselves important with rheotric..

and they stand there and what the same nation they are suppose to support, crumble .. and all they see is “fodder to feed on.. to get the next ” sound bit” for their ego game.

they show they can’t and won’t do anything, when they can’t stop in the middle of the of this madness and put a cap of futures trading, and force the RE- market to immediately freeze rates, and convert their paper to fixed term loans.. and start from a fresh slate…. which allows them to manage how and whom they give variables rates unto.

society has moved where it only uses intelligence to support the extremities of confounding simplicity into ignorance and stupidity.. for the sake of ego and to appear as more than they are, which result in a “do nothing person”… but self promote.. for the sake of personal glory..

so yep, you damn right, go on and bar-b que.. because before long they will find a way that you can’t get meat to do so… if they can figure out how to profit and get an ego boost at the same time.

what ever feeling white is.. you are welcome to feeling if, if all that’s to it is, the short cycle of comment…

I’d guarantee, that every thing is posted is as generic as it is real, and it’s not relegated to any group by race nor ethnicity.. it’s stuff people do.. as people.. !! “period”

Ok.. rich man… when incapacitation comes in your life, and those who look down on you, as they offer a hand to help you get to the bathroom, or that spoon up to your mouth, and they have a face of color.. and your eyes show only despair and need… you shall understand … your sense of measure has diminished you even while you feel you stand high…. and your sense of gratitude will have to fight it’s way thru the guilt .. your ego has built… and then you shall.. know… you are but a man.. not greater than any, and better than none.

Can We… We can’t know , till we take the dare to engage action to do … and we want change, but more than want, we need change,.. and our want and need then finds balance.. we have but one choice.. and that is to seek out change and engage change..

We have to see within a leader, the capacity to lead, and embrace their leadership and not only follow, but give, to the leader, the information of what and why we follow..

We follow because we need hope, but we want to have hope, and that is a balance in our needs and wants.. then we must embrace the choice of Hope..

yesterday is yesterday, and the leadership of yesterday, has created the despair we have today… and we cannot choose another leader who embraces yesterday.. and seeks to make our tomorrows be filled with the same despair and worst than we feel today, and destroy our hope.,.. and decimate the potential for change.

As we view our choices.. they are but one..

because our want for change and our hope for change is of balance, and our want for hope and our need for the ability to hope.. is balanced.. and that leaves standing before us.. only one choice..

‘OBAMA”

We simply have to know in and within ourselves, how we have chosen and we doubt not our choice..

1. we have to hope within our choice, that we can see change..
2. then we have only one options..

1. “Obama”

We have to see that tomorrow is far different from today, and it is our hope that will bring change.. through our choice.

Be not dismayed nor swayed by the game of the media or the madness of a contest..

* we know that thru change and the want and hope for change..
* we make the choice..
* and the choice is for change..
* and we embrace the Hope of change…
* in our choice..
* then there is only one thing to say..

“Yes, We Can”

My question is, W Johnson, if you are so “great”, why is touch so much more eloquent than you in expressing himself? Perhaps you are the idiot.

W Johnson, does the W in your name stand for “wrinkly?” I hope that it does indeed, in order that your full name, Wrinkly Johnson, serves as an apt description of what your face and attitude resemble.

you are a “”"prime example”"” of what is wrong with this country and why it has the problems it has..

but that’s the last comment that I’ll address of your kind of sickness… the only thing I can say to you.. is you should for your own benefit seek psychiatric help…

all you are to this site.. is like an pimple on somones ass.. but as far as I’m concerned, I’ll deal with you like I do toilet paper… after I’ve used it…

we have become to thin of nothing but commerce.. as being life.. and in the matter we have lost regard for what is people… for the mad dash of commerce.. till it dictates the lives of all.

that should be give great and deep thought.. and we may find we create the evil and misdirect the nature of man and life and in the wake we make the world a hell.. when we live in a world that has provided us everything.. we turn it into t hell.. of madness.. for the sake of “commerce”..

an we forget.. we are even people.

MAN IS such a fool for money,… all things thaqt exist continue to exist, and man and his evil madness of gluttonies motives.. continue to play games of “value”… and in the wake he crates nothing but despair and erosion of what exist.. when the matter is things still exist..

what matter is it that a car is a year old, it is still a car.. and it still does the functions of a car.. yet the value minded man, with his greed to make unworthy something that is function, is what is the crux of the destructive nature in this life..
speculation is nothing but greed, and the desire to hoard, that voids out what is for the greed of another’s sense of value they may only pursue for the greed of gain, of what is beyond what is his need, but more about his gluttony.. and in the wake man will destroy the house of his mother, and insult the world of his daughter and turn his son into a gladiator of malice making.. for the gluttony of his evil greed..

Look about the world, homes still exist but the greed of man and his attaching value, has them empty and deterioating while other go homeless, and his greed claims them worthless, but greed will not let him put up the homeless within what he has chosen to consider without value..

man’s evil is the madness that makes the world look like despair for the sense of value of things, because man has lost the value of himself, and has none for what is people.

this is the ignorance of the evils within what is man.. who is but a vile being.. for the sense of value.. he will too.. kill that which is himself.

we have so many issue here to address, Sudan is far and beyond my ability to interact… so I deal with what is here in the lives of all of us as being here..

and by the way, for you info.. I have no problems with whites as being a whole.. it’s not just problems I have with an agenda that was put in place many years ago, many whites have a problem with the same agenda.. and it is such a matter of all of us black and white.. addressing what is that we may all have a better tomorrow, and seek to gather the berries that make peace today.. while we plant more seeds that tomorrow and the tomorrows of tomorrow.. can see us all living simply as just people.

for you info equally so, I’ve met, and known many whites who are as cool with life and people as is anyone, and many who have as many challenges as anyone.. and who seek the same of peace and harmony in their lives and wish for such in the lives of others… it may6 be by division we all arose, but it will be only thru unity that we all continue to stand.

here’s a funny quip… ” I once worked with a guy, who said.. he’s been cool with the white man, every since he figured out how to bring the toilet into the house, and flush the shit.. under ground and away from the home..

you know, .. you are humorous, to think yourself on a perch so high… but remember, nothing, grows, not water running, and no means to do anything without the people who surround the perch..

it’s a sad day in the world if you’d hole any position of authority, over anyone, becase your posting here could become the demise of the enterprise you work for.. so as you babble your person trip, you may be sealing your own fate, because it’s always true.. ” Ignorance knows no bounds”…

As to the people dying in Sudan… it’s as tragic as you say it is, and the atrocity of it is as dumbfounding as the nature of it’s happening…

but equally so, is those who care to act and try the man for crimes against Humanity, and those who are more concerned about resources and commerce, who care not to try the man for crimes against Humanity.. which states,… quite clearly.. that dollars are behind the factions within the madness.. coming from all directions.. and the puppet.. stands in the middle with slaughter on one hand, and confusions in the middle… and the greed of human motivations on the right….

now follow the money… and you may find the culprit behind the madness.

unto any who is wise.. such would apply.

give me .. only what the truths of heart can afford

Buy me nothing with stolen treasures, nor give to me any a thing, of what love has cheated to gain.. bring to me not a thing.. that has become in your grasp, thru the deceit of the soul, and malice of the hand, by which you have gained..
If flattery of falseness has beget you, the riches of a moment, smile not like you have too, earned even a penny… for your holdings have worth, that is below that of a grain of sand.. and with it comes dishonor.. that insults not just me but, insulted you, as you acted so to gain.

then if you have but little, and maybe not much or even nothing, but the smile that is of your heart, you may bring forth such, and I shall treasure it as the riches greater than the kingdoms beheld of men.. if by truth… you so freely give such.. to share with me.

here’s our conditions in a nut shell.. We have spent 100′s of Billions on this war, and while our money is burned like toilet tissue soaked in gasoline… the other countries, are stockpiling that wasted money we throw away… Abu Dubai, has bought the Chrysler building, they are building 40 billion of New Sky scrapers, and everything imaginable.

but GB2 is only completing his Father’s mission, of changing the world order

this country has cracked at it’s economic core.. and yet is foolish to continue to pump.. 100′s of billions into a Wasted War…
nothing is stable in the US economy.. it’s beyond realism in Debt, and fighting like it own the world’s gold supply, while it racks up IOU’s at a rate that .. it’s land value has become to be owned and more will be owned by those who buy up the Treasury securities, which leveraged not just the lands but what exist upon it.

We have a terrorist in this country, and they sit in the Oval Office, no president has ever shown so much insult , assualt and disregard for the constitution than this man.. and not only while he erodes that, he also decimated the economy… and sat as a steward for the demise of the infrastructure.. from Air travel to highways.. When people look beyond their driveway, ( that is those who still have a house to have a driveway).. the cracks in the sidewalk.. extend all across America.. Our biggest business is .. “Wal Mart”.. but that is just become it’s the shopping place for the dispensing of foreign goods, you can’t find “made in the USA products within the confines of it’s wall.
but people remain unaware.. continuing to spin in their 9 block radius of their home, and seeing everything decline, to the point, children no longer play in the yards of a nation. nor can there be a corner market, for the gang graffiti that litters it’s sides.. We have ghetto making madness.. is the biggest thing we are producing as a nations, with a drop culture, coming from our schools.

Other nation who rise thur the fall of this Nation, may one day build statues Honoring Bush,for the fall of America.. and the giving away of it’s assets.. and the books of history make make us .. no more than a blip on the discussion of Nations Rise and Fall..

this country showed it’s lack of awareness to put the idiot in office 2 times, and that’s after his father was first there and set the stage for the demise of a Nation, with his New world order agenda.. and his son is making his dad’s dream come true..
This nation has lost it’s guts to even stand to support itself, when we allowed this idiot to remain in office for so long, he should have been impeached and removed.. 6 years ago.., and Cheney should have been in jail for shooting his friend in the face, and giving no bid contracts to his former employer.. who doubles as his private funds holder… surely they have a few suitcases of loot for him when he leaves office. Everything about the Administration is anti American.. and designed within the process to bring it down..

they may think they are balancing the world.. but they have set the world up for the imbalances to be even greater and more widespread across many nations. he has done more to make the Bin Laden aims realism than Bin Laden could have ever done.. and Bin Laden’s aim was to bring this country to it’s economic knees… Well, that’s been achieved, by and thru the Bush buy in, and thus accelerated the process as a result..

they should make a book.. ” how to topple a nation in 8 years”..

but the part people don’t get is, this country falls by the same mindset that gave it it’s rise.. and that was the failure to share, and the failure to want to share… and it sold everything, rather than share… It happen to the South, when the Slaves were freed, rather than share and pay them a decent wage, they let the plantation and great farming communities fall.. because they would never share in the prosperity of it’s survival and growth.. and so too did it do the same with it’s industry, when unions opened to minorities and women, they shipped off the Industry.. and claimed Unions to be the worst thing every..
but now, look around, not only is China Unionizing, their government backs the Unions that form.. because they are about their people having the means and getting systems that pay each person with a sense of equilibrium..

it becomes true, that what you sow, you reap.. and this country has sown thru it’s use of people, and now it will fall before it would share will the people.. anything. the whole housing situation could have been fixed, but the matter is as they said.. they will not bail out the people, because there are far too many minorities and poor whites and others, who would be helped.. and they are not about to raise a finger to do that.. it would rather see first the collapse of the market.. the cycle continue to repeat itself..

We need to wake up people… and see what is going on…

our biggest market besides wal mart.. is.. 24/7 news shows, feeding drama making out of anything with and insulting recycle on the absurd,pharmaceuticals, feeding a pill hungry society that has prescription addictions as the wide spread premise and point… and Hollywood addicts and relationship crashers.. insulting the morality mind of the youth, where they value nothing and treasure nothing, and people just become a gambit game, played thru a musical chairs program format, they show reality shows, of people arguing about anything that exist, and making drama thru the fools display of themselves and calling it entertainment..

And so goes the nation as did the Romans, from internal decay.. debauchery and gluttony’s pursuits… into a hedonistic frenzy of pleasure seeking…. at the expense of all things, civil.

It’s time for us to Rethink Value and what does the nature and principal of America Mean..

Because our direction is headed into demise, where the only thing we will be able to say is..

“America use to be” !!!!!

false delusion and hide from the sunshine.. is not working.. we need to look at reality as it is.. and make the changes.. and as a public.. stop sitting down.. watching the news, and then roll over and grab another beer, and say to hell with it… because we are making that more true than not.. by that mindset..

If we want to have more Bar B Que’s and other types of things. we had best first come off our elitism and invest back into our youth, our nation and our infrastructure.. we have had 8 years of fear teaching, and it has brought demise to everything that is american.. We have to find out.. simple.

our kids school is more important than the latest “hip hop uniform’, or the opulence of the next Iphone, and other such things.. we have lost the ability to utilize things, we now spend our time chasing “fad”.. throwing away useful stuff.. just to say we have the latest of this or that.. and we are lost into a glutton fit.. and our landscape looks like ghetto’s surrounding opulence.. not unlike.. a castle surrounded by the peasants… and tenement help..

and the demise of a nation… is standing right before our eyes.

shall we just have another cook out and say to hell with it.. pass the Belgium Beer, and move the Arab Chrysler out of the way.. and look out for the soon to be Japanese or Korean GM vehicles.. which use to be American.. and sit and wonder why the bottom just burned out of the Chinese made Bar B Que pit. while we talk about what use to be America.. which probably may become a faction of a Chinese, owned… annexation…. where they allow the re-emergence of the gun slinger, with hope that soon.. we kill each other off.. so they can have a place to expand and send their bulging populations… for resident… production capabilities… to feed the motherland… of their expanse.

this is for those want to come to the cook out and watch the fire sale of America..

here’s our conditions in a nut shell.. We have spent
100′s of Billions on this war, and while our money is

____________________________

People WE NEED OBAMA… BECAUSE HE HAS A MESSAGE OF HOPE… WE’VE HAD 8 YEARS OF FEAR TEACHING AND DESPAIR AND DESPERATIONS… DENIAL OF ANY FUNDING FOR ANYTHING AMERICAN, AND ALL THE FUNDS GATHERED AND PUMPED OFF TO IRAQ AND ANY OTHER PLACE THEY COULD FIND TO GIVE IT, OR SQUANDER IT.. AND.. ANYTHING FOR THE KIDS HAS BEEN VETOED, ANYTHING FOR THE NATION IN AREAS IT NEEDS HELP IS VETOED..

NOW , I DON’T KNOW IF THE POSTER OF THIS BLOG, PUT THE REALIM ON HIS RADIO SHOW.. BUT THIS IS A BIG SPOON FULL OF CASTOR OIL, TO INSURE THAT IS SWALLED , SO WE CAN FLUSH THE ‘S*IT” OUT OF PEOPLE WHO ADMINISTER THIS NATION… AND OUR SYSTEMS CAN BECOME CLEAN AND FUELED WITH HOPE..

ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND, WOULD NOT CONSIDER TO VOTE FOR McCAINE, he is about yeasterday and yesterday is gone, and his glory days were over 30 years ago… even Vietnam has moved on and is not building for a future, and he’s still harping about some war glory, spewing war talk out his mouth..
he is not a leader, he is best suited to work within an administration, but at his age.. he should go draw his social security, and be proud to turn the nation over to a new generation… but he can’t see that far for looking behind.. it’s a sad day in this nation… to seek to put a man of yesterday in our highest office…
He has no idea what is with the economy, nor the other crucial areas, he has absolutely nothing to say about schools, and the drop out rate, nor does he even see the demise of our treasured industries.. he only sees Iraq, with a blood thirst to try to attack Iran.

People need to wake up, they need to see what is real and our future… Under Obama, no more of this sell everything to keep from sharing, He preaches hope and change and being a person who has diplomatic dignity.. and the integrity to stand for it. He is saying hope for all people, and hope and unity for women and the progress of woman.. and people .. not just one color but all colors.

If any is without awareness of what is what.. then I ask that you re-read the post carefully.. and see if we don’t adopt change with hope… we will be a forgotten territory, that was once the great land of America… and just become another Argentina… or Spain, now even mentioned on the world stage of progress and development…

Get real people, and Get with the process.. get registered and by a landslide of untold numbers, let’s get this process in a situation where hope can lead our future… Obama… and america rises from the rubble and becomes again polished to it’s perfectionate best.

Let’s have the cook out.. but let’s discuss the rebirth of a Nation. America, the land of the free and the home of the brave… and the “brave” means “HOPE” … WITHOUT HOPE THERE IS NO BRAVERY..

yes.. people do need to work.. but the season aspect is not so.. GM is laying off and buying out people, the Major Airlines are laying off and buying people out.. and in return they are hiring in people at a wage that does not meet the expense of living and then they charge them for a substandard insurance.. they either have to fork over or do without.

I saw in LA they contracted the jobs out.. which were 18-22hr.. and they brought in a company paying 8.50 and 9.75 and the variance depended on if they choose insurance or not.. I see jobs that want to pay 10hr.. and there are such around.. they offer up nothing, of benefit.. take 80$ a day.. and imagine you cost.. @ 900 mo for rent 30 dollars, utilities, add in 9 day, now add in car payment, insurance, health insurance, food, and other incidentals. but first subtract tax from that $80.. with may leave you with what maybe 62-65, now take state and local tax from that, and you maybe have 55-57 dollars a day.. now take the 30 for rent, and the 9 for utilities, from 57 that leaves 18, now subtract food, subtract fuel… and there is nothing for a car payment, nor car insurance.. and recreation is totally out of the question.. and yet.. no medical insurance has been paid..
so by the end of the month the person is in the hole for nearly the same amount they cleared… so in rush.. state and fed aid.. which helps them maybe be at or about 20-35% in the hole or have 2-5% for the incidentals. Opps… we forgot, the kids may be in school, so forbid they need a Gym outfit, or some supplies, and then comes the uniforms.. now for those not in school… then comes the baby sitter expense.. and all of a sudden… they are in some cases better off to just get Federal assistance than working, because they are getting further in the hole.. now with the current stats of divorce in this nations.. it’s then is not ethnic, nor racial.. it’s economic 101..

our schools don’t teach financial managment, nor do they teach functional economic… hell, they don’t even teach basic civics’s anymore.. many people graduate.. with not hope to college, because they barely got thru high school on the economic side, and in a depressed enviornment.. what circles is educational deprivation.. and so the circle spins.. and people to survive.. may work to cheap paying jobs.. to get by, then we got social erosion because nobody is watching the barn yard where the kids are left to scurry.. and the landscape of a nations picture then is in live living color, 3-D…

yep.. calculating are fine, and they look functional on paper, to those not in the situation.. but once, in the situation, the realism of such figures and formulations, are non function, and not even fuzzy math equates to balance the variables.

I’m working now to create something that can inspire business in this city… and push along people who aspire to professional goals.. and I’ve had meeting with some council and other business owners.. and yes.. there is certainly apathy within the masses, but I have built within my program.. a youth section as well.. and I hope to get to the parents thru their kids, to bring them into involvement.. it’s an ambitious program .. but .. I know I can make it work.. and I’ve put a great amount of time into it.. to some it may not look like much, but it’s hope building, positive self action based … and to the willing and the desiring it will work.. I’ve depleted my saving, but the last little bit , goes into this program.. so my economic survival is equally tied into it.. and I personally refuse to fail.. because it’s not an option that I consider..

but I can tell you, I’ve seen more people black and white who are computer illiterate, and some have no concept of what it’s function is nor how it functions.. but what’s a trip, the computer is every place they go, and functioning to manage them even before they get there..

America breed this mindset, with the callousness of claim as being the richest nation, and people bought into it, who held no riches and had not means to hold any.. but they squander all on .. the illusion, and such is fad and fashion and popularity.. is the robber of many, nationwide.. America had lost it’s ability to earn and save back in the 70′s.. and by the 80′s we were as a nation living off of the foreign investments of Japan and others and now we have lived on credit borrowed from China for the past 8 or more years…

the situation is far from a simplicity of factors, but a multiplicity of factors, compounded and then the fractions have become compounded, which yeild.. not much left for the taking..
We see it in industry after industry selling and cashing out, so the few can live well at the demise of many.. and the cycle is not finished.. the element is not about re-distribution of wealth, its a matter of re-collection of wealth… and the top % figure of who’s with it, remains a generalized constant..

Now .. why.. because we have people who make millions and 10′s of millions and create nothing but gluttony, and opulence… and they employ none and create no business that promotes any.. and soon we continue to hear them in a cycle of wasted fortunes, sitting in the bankrupt chair.. wondering what the hell happen..

name me 10 sports players who have multi year 50-100 million contracts, that have a factory that produces anything ??? name me wall street brokers, that do anything other than buy up companies and sell of portions and result with a pocket full of money and a skeleton operation.. tethering on the brink of collapse, waiting on a buyer.

we are by far the less astute of the nations, when it comes to money and it’s managment.. people living in 10-20 millions dollar APARTMENTS, now what sense does that make.. hell you can buy a small multi rise building for that, in some localities.. or you can move to areas that have reasonable land and for that “for example” new York multi 10 million dollar unity.. they could have multi 100′s of acres and put that land to work producing something.

and the goal now is .. to get money.. so one has to do nothing, or get money, and then chase more for the sake of power.. and we have what we have.. as a result.

Okay got the rules of the Q; Unfortunately a little late :0)

Roland,
School vouchers sound like a great idea for a quick fix but the practical application of such a program could devastate all educational choices. The power of the parental choice would require schools to spend considerable amounts of money and effort to demonstrate to the community that they are a sound choice for their children. With school budgets cut tight the way they are, this could have an enormous ripple effect throughout the educational system. Each schooling establishment would need to compete not with superior educational benefits but with superior advertisement and overall appearance of the facility. Money for retaining quality educators would not be available, new educational equipment would not be installed, and media like books or sorted workbook materials would not be updated.
The reality is that school vouchers sound like a great way to force change in schools but in a practical application could cause the schools to slip in the level of offerings open to them currently.
Is that worth the price to generations of students who will be affected by this experiment?
Once this system is established the benefactors would never be able to recover from a removal of funds and the system would be incredibly difficult to eliminate.

I just have to say…and this has nothing to do with this blog…your views on education vouchers are completely ridiculous! McCain is a Republican which means he is all about cutting taxes. If he does that where is the money going to come for these vouchers? It definitely will not last long! AND yeah the vouchers sound like a great option if you can get your kids to go to better schools but don’t you think EVERYONE is going to want to do the same? Things don’t happen overnight, or to be all “cliche” Rome wasn’t built in a day. So while the voucher option sounds good it really is not going to help your children; it is just going to give you false hope and disappointment in the end.

I guess you use slander to hide behind some weakness which resides within you.. life is not about put down in such series as you do… You are presenting a yourself as a serial insulter, with no point nor purpose.

As to Jobs, any Job is good… but what people seek to hire is people with a good “attitude”, a Can do disposition, and the presentation that represents the work,.. only people of exceptional skill, that can’t be denied get jobs who don’t manage their presentations concerns, and that’s in neatness, hygiene and communication ability..

A college degree does not guarantee a job, there are many people who work no where close to their studied field or earned degree of a particular course of study. Todays market, is not designed for negativity, there is not more interest in people who have bad attitudes, they cost the employer far too much, by the spread of negativity in diminishing the spirit within the work force..

I’ve interviewed for jobs, and in some instances, maybe I did not get the job, but in some instances, not only do I get the job, I’ve gotten the option to choose among available positions..

In my business, I wrote two dismissal letters recently, but it was based on principal of performance and the willingness to learn and do the work, and take a proactive engagment to do so, and such things was lacking, and after the repeated giving of opportunity, and positive support, the failure to invest themselves left me but one choice… and that was to “suspend the option of opportunity”..

hard choices are necessary in the climate of business today.. and it does not matter what color a person is in many jobs.. it matters about performance and the proactive engagement with a positive disposition… and attitude that is with the will to do.

some jobs, they may be less concerned with your ability to master every task, but they are very concerned with one’s ability to take on the task, and if they fall short, as long as they learn and are willing to try and take instruction and correct the issue, and continue in a progressive mindset.

that’s a good article and it’s very true..

I try to tell any young people who are studying, to insure they do volunteer work during their studies, and learn the craft and build their background, take outside seminar, that are offered all over the place, and seek out opportunitites, to have any OJT during thier school years.

Far too many people, think they can just go to school and come out and the world will lay out a red carpet… but people don’t understand the differences in education levels and institutions, if you go to Ivy League, you are in a network that is high set and fast pace, and their connection track students who perform, but general state universities, are processing people, until, a person gets to the “graduate level” and the ones who many times go to higher position, do their graduate work at a university that has the connection with strong tracking emphasis to push them in the right directions, but they still must invest time in the internships where they can, and other OJT connection that can give them some background… some people get involved in missionary work both domestic and international, and build their background.. but just to walk across the stage and get your paper in general.. is just not going to push one over the hill, into “success valley”…

Roland, I like women with hairy legs, but if you mean the ones with the furry gorrilla look, I concur with you on this.

touch, do you enjoy yourself at bar-be-ques, picnics or other outings where people might view life differently than you? You have way too many critiques and I’m wondering are you enjoyable to be around? Initially you started off good, but you went into the “I CAN’T FIND A DAMN THING NICE TO SAY!” mode.

– That was only on the Bar-be-que outings – I will not make comments to your other opinions for fear of being TOUCH!..lol

Gee, do people really treat each other like that? I guess I forgot. I haven’t accepted an invitation to anything in 22 years. Yeah, I am happy to not have the BS. Thanks for reminding me why being an orphan and ‘very busy’ is GREAT.

Roland, you have made me laugh and think (often both at the same time) since you and I were in Dr. Broussard’s that fine summer of ’88 (Texan A&M). You still do, and I applaud your success, and enjoy seeing you on CNN. Keep me thinking, my Aggie brother.

Gig ‘em!

I can’t believe what I am hearing on cable TV with commentators like Morning Joe and others. Tell me why can’t a black man in this country be intelligent and confident and not be called by most white men, arrogrant? And why in this country a white man can be intelligent and confident and white people call him articulate and smart? I am confused!

As long as they’re shooting whites, it should be ok.

Cynthnia, you are not confused. Presently, a Black male on a job who TRIES to be a Go-Getter, is called Aggressive. A White male on the other hand is called a Take-Charge-Kinda-Guy. Go figure!

This is why I work hard with the young males in my church. I already know life is going to start off with stero-types before each can open his mouth.

Prime example is W. Johnson retort to speak highly of Whites creating everything wonderful but sickening innuendo, BUT STILL LOOK AT BLACKS! This person can’t dicpher deep white racism and readlily forget the colonization and destruction of former family values which Africans had in place to maintain their societies. After Europeans completed using, abusing and destroying the political, social, family structures of the African continent, whites such as he now point a finger and say “See, I told you it would go to hell, if WE GAVE IT TOO THEM!” It was not whites to take nor give, therefore don’t point fingers after destroying the social fabric of the people on the continent.

To simply point out how destructive white racism is, look in our own backyard at the Native Americans. Do you think they are a happy lot of people? Though Black people are rightly entitled to affirmative action policies which were initially for WHITES ONLY, we still propered by creating inventions stolen from us, when there was no affrimative action.

Something as simple as the stoplight invented by Garret Morgan along with the gas mask should have cemented this Black inventor and his off-spring with millions untold. Where is his financial wealth W Johnson?

Rember the signs and the degradation of Jim Crow and Segregation which whites were allowed to prosper under, who didn’t invent as many things as White Americans would like the world to THINK! Go read SOME books and maybe your feelings will change about what Black people have done PERIOD!! Then maybe you won’t THINK we should be included, you will KNOW we should be included!

Matter of fact, are you starting up your WHITES ONLY group again, to spread your hatred?

Amen, Amen, and again I say, AMEN!! Preach that man!!! These should be reposted with the title “Cookout Commandments!!

It seems like W. Johnson needs to read the entire volume of world history and not just the European section. If he did he would find the that the orginal civilizaton, the Egyptians, had accomplished and invented many things that the Europeans had to REDESCOVER when their own jonny come lately “civilation” burst forth ujpon the latter pages of history. He would also discover that there were many other civilizations (Chineese, Middle Eastern, ect) which were highly developed while Europe was in it’s dark, dark, dark, ages. It seems to me that the Europeans starting with Greece, were and still are unique in pefecting and excelling in warfare and destruction of existing civilations.
